I don't think there are enough good American and European players to
make a real all-star team. If I remember correctly, only about 20% of
the players are not Canadian born. 
    Has any american born player scored over 100 points in a season?
(Bobby Carpenter?). The Canadian team would easily have a dozen players
who have accomplished this at least once in their careers.
